    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Nursing
    • Patient Safety

    Background:

    • In-hospital post-anaesthetic care is crucial for monitoring patient recovery.
    • Effective follow-up programs can identify and mitigate anaesthesia-related complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the experience and outcomes of an in-hospital post-anaesthetic follow-up program.
    • To assess the incidence of anaesthesia-related complications identified through this program.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective follow-up program involving Registered Nurses (RNs) under the Department of Anesthesia.
    • Data collected over a three-year period from 21,116 visited patients out of 39,239 who received anaesthetics.

    Main Results:

    • 8.15% of patients seen in follow-up experienced minor anaesthesia-related complications.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • 0.37% of patients encountered major anaesthesia-related complications.
  • Patients not visited were primarily outpatients or those discharged early after minor surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The in-hospital post-anaesthetic follow-up program effectively identified a notable percentage of minor and major complications.
    • This program demonstrates a valuable approach to enhancing patient safety and monitoring outcomes after anaesthesia.
